The Black Keys were unprofessional and maybe someone told them that. There is nothing wrong with wanting your album to do well and be #1. But the way they acted they should be embarrassed. It was disrespectful to Michael and to all the people who worked on the album. As much as I didn't like it I hope no one ever does that to them. It's not right.

What happened with South Korea and Hungary?. Wasn't it Hungary that had the Michael stamps? I thought there would be more fans there. Anyway it is still in the top 10.
Onir what do I press to select LNFSG. I clicked on the line with the song to select it but nothing happened.

More good news. These figures make me more eager to help this album do better. I hope the figures are motivating others as well. It is so good to see Micahel's name up there in 2014. I wonder if he will get some award for having the strongest posthumous album ever or some such title?

It is very good for South Korea because there they counted Deluxe and Standard version separately: South Korea Albums (Gaon Chart) #6 - Deluxe /#9 - Standard. And that is their combined chart. Meaning all 5 entries before Michael were local artists. If they counted Deluxe and Standard together MJ would be even higher, maybe #1.
On the foreign chart Michael is #1 there. South Korea Foreign Albums (Gaon Chart) #1 - Deluxe Edition /#4 - Standard Edition. That is very good.

Go below the list of songs and in the first box where it says "...a moj glas ide za..." meaning my vote goes to, select Love Never Felt So Good. When the song shows in the box click ">>>>". Second box leave it like it is because it is irrelevant. It should work.
If "Glasovati možete jednom dnevno." shows, that means you already voted this day. You can vote once a day.

I'm Hungarian. Yes, the Hungarian Post released MJ stamps here, but this was never the biggest MJ fan country, unfortunately. There are a lot more MJ fans in Romania.

Can someone explain the chart-types in Japan. What does the Orican-charts contain?

We do, but it's not too relevant. I mean we are talking about a country with a record market where only a couple of thousands of records are sold every week. Insignificant. So do not worry too much about that #7 in Hungary. LOL.
Two summaries about sales...
Three weeks in and it seems that sales are still consistent for Xscape, proving that the world cannot get enough of Michael Jackson. Here, MJVibe give you the updates on album and single sales in some of the major music territories:
In the UK the album has dropped 3 places to NUMBER 5 after spending the earlier part of the week at number 3. So far, sales across the UK have been stronger than that of the ‘Michael’ album which opened on the UK charts at Number 4, before falling to Number 30 in week 3. The UK Single charts also show a strong hold for Love Never Felt So Good which finished this week at Number 12 after 5 weeks in the charts.
The U.S Billboards has seen Xscape slip one place to NUMBER 3, after it opened at Number 2. The U.S charts come in later than the UK so hopefully sales have remained consistent to keep Xscape in the top 5. In other news, Xscape is NUMBER 1 on the Billboard R&B Album Chart. Love Never Felt So Good has dropped 7 places to NUMBER 16 on the Hot 100 Singles Charts, but most surprisingly, Billie Jean has re-entered the Hot 100 Single charts at NUMBER 14.
In Australia, Xscape finished the week at NUMBER 4 dropping 2 places from the week before. In the singles charts, Love Never Felt So Good took a huge drop from NUMBER 28 last week, to NUMBER 46; it’s current position after 4 weeks on the singles charts.
France has seen a massive leap in sales for Love Never Felt So Good as the single jumped 6 places to NUMBER 2 where it has remained for 2 weeks. French Charts have not come in for the most recent week yet. The album finished the week at NUMBER 3.
In Germany, Xscape finished the week at NUMBER 5. Love Never Felt So Good is a non-mover, spending another week at NUMBER 25 in the Singles charts.

The King of Pop saw more record-breaking success on the U.S. charts this week with an incredible three songs charting on the Billboard Hot 100 and four albums on the Billboard 200.
Current single “Love Never Felt So Good” had a reasonably strong sales and streaming week despite dropping nine spots on the Hot 100 to #16. Overall “Love Never Felt So Good” has been digitally downloaded more than 375,000 times in the U.S. alone, and viewed more than 30 million times worldwide via the official Michael Jackson VEVO channel. The music video featuring Justin Timberlake makes up 16.5 million of those views with an additional 10.5 million views coming from the audio-only version of the same track. The audio of the Michael Jackson solo version has been viewed 2 million times, the Fedde Le Grand remix 580,000 times and the iHeart Radio audio mix 445,000 times.
As a result of the Billboard Awards hologram performance last week “Slave the the Rhythm” has made it’s Hot 100 debut at #45. This marks the 50th time a Michael Jackson song has appeared on the prestigious chart. The track rocketed up the iTunes rankings during the broadcast of the Billboard Music Awards, peaking in the mid-30s in the days following. In the end 75% of its chart position is credited to the 3.9 million online streams it achieved in the U.S. – 2.2 million of which come from views of the the VEVO upload. The video has been viewed more than 13 million times worldwide since being uploaded a week ago.
Perhaps the most impressive of all this week’s chart results is that “Billie Jean”, which was originally released as a single in 1983 and topped the charts for seven weeks that year, has re-entered the Hot 100 at #14 – an astonishing achievement for a song released some 31 years ago!
Michael Jackson has seventeen-year-old Pitman High student Brett Nichols to thanks for the track’s resurgence. The teen busted out an impressive dance tribute to the King of Pop’s historic Motown 25 “Billie Jean” performance during his school’s talent show in Turlock, California recently. A video of the performance was uploaded to YouTube and went completely viral online. The video, which features the original audio sampled from Jackson’s 1982 ‘Thriller’ album, was view so many times that it out-ranked “Love Never Felt So Good” (#16 as previously noted) on this week’s Hot 100 with a mammoth total of 11.2 million streams in the United States alone, according to Nielsen BDS.
The ‘XSCAPE’ album managed to hold steady at #3 on the Billboard 200 this week, selling another 67,000 copies on top of the 157,000 it sold last week. That takes its two-week tally to 224,000 copies sold in the United States so far. Not bad for a posthumous album released in mid-May! Three other Jackson albums remain a presence on the Billboard 200 – ‘Number Ones’ at #33 (down five spots from #28 last week), ‘The Essential’ at #71 (down four spots from #67) and ‘Thriller’ at #88 (down eighteen spots from #70).
In Australia ‘XSCAPE’ has spent its third consecutive week at the top end of the ARIA Albums chart. After debuting at #3 two weeks ago and rising to #2 last week ‘XSCAPE’ drops just two places to #4 this week with sales of 3,200. That takes its Aussie total to more than 15,000 copies. The “Love Never Felt So Good” single drops eighteen spots in its fourth week on the ARIA Singles chart to a disappointing #46 this week with total digital downloads of 17,000 Down Under.
‘XSCAPE’ is currently #4 in Japan with estimated sales of more than 32,000. The album is also #2 in Spain, #3 in France and Italy, #4 in the Netherlands and #5 in the UK and Germany. “Love Never Felt So Good” is currently #2 in France, #3 in The Netherlands, #9 in Spain, #10 in Italy and #12 in the UK.
In the worldwide market ‘XSCAPE’ has had reasonably good second week sales, charting at #2 and selling 224,000 copies (on top of the 365,000 it sold last week). That takes its worldwide sales tally past the half-million mark to 589,000. In comparison to 2010′s ‘MICHAEL’ album, however, this number is significantly less. Two weeks after the ‘MICHAEL’ album was released it had racked up more than 1.2 million in worldwide sales. The big numbers from ‘MICHAEL’ didn’t last long though with the album seemingly vanishing from existence within 5-6 weeks of its release due to continued fan outrage over the authenticity (or lack thereof) of three songs on the album combined with poorly planned promotion. Will the heavily promoted ‘XSCAPE’ be able to stick it out on the charts longer than ‘MICHAEL’?
The longevity of the ‘XSCAPE’ album will be dependent on Epic Records’ ability to keep the album in the public eye. As long as radio is playing “new” Michael Jackson music, people will continue buying the album. Right now the “Love Never Felt So Good” single is, in the eyes of Sony Music, performing well all around the world, so a second single isn’t on their agenda just yet. However judging by the available statistics this week I’d say the single has now peaked in most markets and will begin to fade from here on out, so maybe they should indeed start thinking about a second single. A poll I’ve been running for the last couple of weeks indicates that Stargate’s remix of ‘A Place With No Name’ is the most popular choice among fans. I’ve been told that in the long run there are at least three, possibly four singles to be expected from this particular project. The Estate of Michael Jackson have hinted that they’ve got a few tricks up their sleeve by stating that the whirlwind of promotion they’ve done so far is just the beginning. The Estate say they’re “just getting started” and have asked fans to “keep watching for what’s next.”

At least Xscape continues on the top 10 on iTunes Mexico. The album is #7 so is LNFSG.
I haven't forgotten my promise on the official Mexican chart. They haven't updated it yet.

I don't know how many copies Xscape has sold so far but it puzzles me the amount of Coldplay.

It sold 589,000 so far. People should not compare it to Coldplay's sales. They are a very popular current band with a very active promotion campaign - including performances, TV specials etc. Xscape won't compete with them. For a posthumus album with the artist not being here to promote Xscape is doing well.
A couple of days ago I quoted an article how Mariah Carey's new album is projected to sell 55-60k copies in the US in its first week. Xscape sold 157k in its first week. It's doing well for a posthumus album, but of course there are going to be more popular current acts. Coldplay is one of them.

Thank you, it's doing great, I admit.I hope it outsells MICHAEL. It's not I'm comparing Xscape with Colplay's album, I knew since it was announce the release date a posthumous material could not compete fairly with alive current acts, Michael is no longer here to promote a new album himself. It just puzzles me how they're so popular and many people find them boring at the same time.

last week it was 23k on 69% and the hard copies were like 46K. so digital sales aren't down by lots of copies if at all, I didn't see last week's 50% positions.

Go below the list of songs and in the first box where it says "...a moj glas ide za..." meaning my vote goes to, select Love Never Felt So Good. When the song shows in the box click ">>>>". Second box leave it like it is because it is irrelevant. It should work.
If "Glasovati možete jednom dnevno." shows, that means you already voted this day. You can vote once a day.
Did it, but we need a lot of votes for this one.

Ross On Radio: Why Michael Jackson Has A Hit Now

And Why "This Is It," Wasn't
Not even the overwhelming surge of interest in Michael Jackson following his death in 2009 could make "This Is It" a radio hit. Urban AC showed the most support for Jackson's first posthumous song. Top 40 supplied a mere handful of event spins. Radio might have come around if there was a sales story, but "This Is It" was never released as a single, and still isn't available as a stand-alone download.
When "This Is It" underwhelmed, I suggested in a column at the time that maybe the rumored Jackson material in the can with current hot producers would have fared better. A year later, "Hold My Hand" (feat. Akon) finally surfaced and got as far as No. 39 on the Billboard Hot 100. Subsequent singles from the Michael project failed to attract much notice. It seemed that the interest in Jackson had been squandered on material that only made Jackson's classics sound better by contrast.
But the Jackson/Justin Timberlake duet, "Love Never Felt So Good," has already been No. 9 on the Hot 100. On the Mainstream Top 40 chart, it is up 37-34 at this writing and +485 spins. That puts the song just inside the 20 biggest gainers, but "Love" has survived a second-week bounce after its initial exposure at Clear Channel stations wore off, and is still building two weeks after the appearance of a Michael Jackson hologram on the 2014 Billboard Music Awards. The song is also No. 3 on Adult R&B and No. 13 at Adult Contemporary.

Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' Returns To Hot 100; Legend Lands 50th Hit
Ross On Radio: Did Cumulus Just Fragment Country Radio?So why does Jackson finally have the radio coda that was denied him at the time? In the 2009 column, WKTU New York PD Rob Miller noted that he was hoping for something along the lines of "Billie Jean" or "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)." "Love Never Felt So Good" isn't quite that. Like "This Is It," it was co-written in 1983 with Paul Anka, who was working on his own solo album at the time. The song finally appeared on a Johnny Mathis album a year later.
Musically, "Love Never Felt So Good" would have been more at home on Off the Wall, and might have already sounded a little dated on the Thriller album. But because "Love Never Felt So Good" doesn't sound like the hits from Thriller, it also doesn't sound like anything from the four solo albums that followed during Jackson's lifetime. It doesn't sound like the song "Bad" sounding like the song "Thriller." It doesn't sound like "Who Is It" or "Scream" or any of the songs that tapped that formula again and wore down Jackson's musical goodwill.
A few other things have happened since 2009. By the time "This Is It" came out, Jackson had already become one of adult contemporary radio's most potent artists, a stark contrast to the period before his death when only adult R&B stations still played any of his gold in a significant way. Jackson's strength at AC has barely tapered off since, and his prominence there has only increased since that format phased out music from the '70s and relied more heavily on music of the '80s.
As important, while "Love Never Felt So Good" and the other songs from Jackson's Xscape album have been built on recently cut tracks, there's not quite the same need now to make Jackson sound compatible with today's music. Today's music has been working much harder to sound compatible with Michael Jackson. MKTO invokes Jackson on "Classic." Timberlake has devoted the last 18 months to his own Off the Wall-era throwbacks. Each new public display of Bruno Mars' talent recalls anew the shock of seeing Jackson in 1983 on the Motown 25 special.
Finally, "Love Never Felt So Good" is getting the concerted push from Epic that the previous posthumous Jackson singles never received. As regular "ROR" readers know, it's the rare song that radio finds of its own volition. "Thriller," already a phenomenon at the time of Motown 25, needed one TV performance to propel it into legend. "Xscape" has had two awards show tie-ins, one of them followed by the concerted Clear Channel push.
Three other notes, for trivia fans:
With Timberlake's participation, "Love Never Felt So Good" continues a tradition of studio duets that effectively began in fall 1978 with the official release of the Neil Diamond/Barbra Streisand version of "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." That song was a hit around the same time as the Jacksons' "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)," the act's biggest hit after a dry spell of several years, and the first song to define Jackson's signature sound. The first posthumous studio duet hit, which allowed Deborah Allen to sing with the late country star Jim Reeves, took place in 1979. Justin Timberlake was born two years later.
"This Is It" brought with it an eerie coincidence, making Anka the author of the first posthumous releases by Buddy Holly ("It Doesn't Matter Anymore"), Elvis Presley (his version of "My Way") and Jackson. With "Love Never Felt So Good," you can modify that to "posthumous hits," and it remains true.
It is the second time that Michael Jackson has covered Johnny Mathis covering him. In 1976, Mathis had a minor AC hit with the Jackson album cut, "One Day In Your Life." In 1981, Jackson's version of that song was pulled from the Motown vaults to take advantage of the lull between Epic's "Off The Wall" and "Thriller," becoming a mid-chart record here and a bigger U.K. hit.
